Good to Know
Hardware is not stated.
The center lap belt in a Chevy crew cab front bench was usually a simple two-point belt from the factory, and this replacement follows that layout.
Chevy crew cabs with a front bench could carry three, and the middle passenger relies on this belt.
The center belt anchors in a Chevy truck usually bolt to the floor under the bench, sometimes near the transmission tunnel.
A fixed belt does not retract, so adjust the slide to fit the passenger and tuck the extra webbing.
Many Chevy crew cabs have the center belt missing entirely because it was pushed under the seat and forgotten.
Measure the length of the Chevy buckle side and latch side to make sure they reach the middle seat.
Match the Chevy center belt color to the outboard belts for a uniform bench.
Seatbelt Planet sells outboard front belts and rear belts for these Chevy crew cabs.
Chevy crew cab work trucks often carried three across the front, making the center belt important.
Square-body Chevy trucks with full benches are common at truck shows today.
Lift the bench forward to reach the Chevy center anchors.
Seatbelt Planet makes this Chevy center lap belt as a fixed two-point unit, without a retractor.
The 52 webbing colors let Chevy owners match the center belt to blue, red, saddle or gray benches.
Chevy crew cabs with three across the front were common on job sites in the 1980s.
A center belt that has been lost under the seat is often stiff or dirty when found.
Seatbelt Planet sells a three-belt Chevy front kit if you want all front belts together.
Chevy crew cabs from 1978-1991 are now popular with collectors and square-body fans.
Chevy crew cab center belts often hide under the bench cushion, and replacing them restores the middle seat.
